Apocalypse: Last Traveler

Neo-Humans, have a car, have bows and arrows, have guns, and something flying above their heads.

And most importantly, when Fa died earlier, this vehicle had appeared in the county town.

So when someone screamed: "This is the car! They're the ones who killed Fa!" the people in the county town reacted as if they had seen a ghost, each scrambling to flee, afraid of being left behind.

Even the previously arrogant leader of the Tongzhou restaurant couldn't bother yelling anymore and turned to squeeze into the station, attempting to escape through the back door.

But luck was not on his side, he couldn't escape.

Lu Xi'an, seeing these people scatter like birds and beasts, shouted, "Leave one behind."

Yao Wei and Gou on top of the vehicle understood and took action.

Gou's dog eyes fixed on a person, precisely the leader of the Tongzhou restaurant, so Yao Wei's arrow soon followed, piercing the leader's ankle.

"Ah—"

The leader screamed miserably, staggered, and fell to the ground. Someone nearby hurriedly attempted to support him, but seeing the woman leaping from the top of the car and rushing over, quickly dropped the leader and fled.

Yao Wei swiftly approached the leader, just about to capture him, when the leader suddenly rolled over, ignoring the severe pain in his ankle, and kowtowed towards Yao Wei with loud knocks.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The leader pleaded in panic, kowtowing.

Yao Wei was silent for a moment; she had never witnessed such a scene before.

After all, she had always acted decisively, rarely leaving anyone alive.

The only time she spared someone was when dealing with Fa earlier. That Fa was much tougher than this person before her.

"Don't kill me! I'll give you all this food, I don't want any of it! Not even a finger!"

The leader kowtowed repeatedly.

Yao Wei glanced at the pile of corpses in the corner and frowned.

She didn't want to listen to this person anymore, so she grabbed him like a dead dog and dragged him to the roadside.

Lu Xi'an parked the car outside the gas station to ensure an escape route, without driving into the station.

He remained in the car and waited as Yao Wei dragged the leader over, then leaned toward the driver's window and asked, "Are these all the people you have left?"

The drone was still hovering in the sky, and Gou had confirmed that everyone else had fled, leaving only the three of them at the gas station.

They were so weak and so terrified of cars and Neo-Humans that it seemed foolish for Lu Xi'an and Yao Wei to have hurried to leave initially.

However, neither Lu Xi'an nor Yao Wei felt they had been foolish earlier.

To be cautious of every danger and avoid unnecessary risks is not foolish, right?

Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit, otherwise, why would they coordinate both on the ground and in the air just now?

Now, having such an effective deterrent on the people in this county town, the ground-air cooperation must have played a significant role...

It's good like this; it saves a lot of trouble.

"Yes! Yes! Just them! Everyone else is dead, there's no one else!"

The leader hurriedly replied, his face twisting in pain because of his ankle, taking several sharp breaths of cold air.

Lu Xi'an furrowed his brows slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked directly, "Chai Xin, do you know Chai Xin?"

The leader was startled, hurriedly answering, "Yes! Of course, I know! She is our former leader Chai Lei's daughter, how could I not know?

This cunning guy immediately started to act friendly, "After our leader died, I even intended to support Chai Xin to come up and let her become the leader.

"But unfortunately, my voice alone was not enough, and that Fa guy caused too much trouble, usurped the position, and drove Chai Xin away..."

The man spoke with half-truths, twisting the conversation in his favor. Lu Xi'an was unwilling to watch a Rashomon scene play out and interrupted him, asking, "Did you see Chai Xin? I mean today—did you see her today?"

The leader did not answer, instead asking, "I... Should I have seen her... or maybe I haven't?"

"Alright, you haven't seen her. Then there's no use asking you."

Lu Xi'an was instantly disappointed, sighed.

Upon hearing Lu Xi'an's words, Yao Wei promptly pulled out her blade and slashed the man's neck.

After confirming he had no breath left, Yao Wei crouched down, using a small knife to carefully carve out the flesh on the man's ankle, extracting the arrow intact, and wiped it clean on his body.

"You seem to really dislike this person."

Lu Xi'an watched Yao Wei's actions and said.

Yao Wei remained crouched on the ground, responding while working, "He eats people."

Lu Xi'an was silent for a bit, saying, "Actually, it's quite normal; resources are hard to come by in these times. For most people to survive, they have to push their moral boundaries down a bit.

"In Jiang Yu's mansion at Yu Bei, didn't we encounter those hyenas who had to eat their kind to survive too?"

Yao Wei nodded, "Mm."

Actually, she didn't feel there was anything particularly wrong, just simply felt uncomfortable.

Wolves don't eat their kind, but hyenas do, to sustain life. It's a difficult world, some are like wolves, some like hyenas, it's just survival methods, all quite normal.

In the moral concepts of the apocalypse, they couldn't align with the old world.

However, this didn't stop her from feeling uncomfortable seeing people who eat others.

Putting the arrow back into the quiver, Yao Wei stood up and asked Lu Xi'an, "Do we need to catch someone else to question?"

Lu Xi'an shook his head, "No need, we wait here for a day, then leave. One day should be more than enough for Chai Xin to make it to Tongzhou County.

"The county town is small, and we've made quite a commotion. If Chai Xin was here or is on her way, she'd know we were here and come find us. If she doesn't, it means she's not here and didn't head this way."

"Mm."

Yao Wei nodded, agreeing with Lu Xi'an, she leaped back onto the car roof, took her position behind the tire again, drew an arrow, set it on the bow, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

"What if Chai Xin isn't here, what do we do?"

Standing on the roof, she asked.

Lu Xi'an chuckled, "What else can we do, we leave. It means that we and Chai Xin have no fate together, there's nothing we can do.

"We've sort of cleared the local powers in Tongzhou County for her, so if she comes later, it'll be easier to handle. Given her ability to deal with wolf packs, surviving here shouldn't be a problem."

At this point, Lu Xi'an picked up the stone wrapped in wolf skin on the center console, feeling it out, and said, "As for the origin and mystery of this stone, we'll just have to study it ourselves."

He felt a bit regretful and guilty, having falsely suspected Chai Xin but being unable to make amends.

But what can be done if they couldn't find Chai Xin?

After waiting for a day, if Chai Xin doesn't come, where would she head next?

Or... is it Mengxin City?!
